2000’s ultra-slim design and small footprint, make it the perfect partner
for both PC and MAC. About the size of a hardcover book, the Ultima 2000
weighs in at only 3.3 pounds and is just 1.7 inches high. But this small
wonder scans full-sized A-4 documents at resolutions up to 600X1200-dpi,
maximum resolution of 19200X19200 dpi. Add to that, its truly BUS powered

tangled on desk tops. One cable is all that requires for both power and
scanning.

top saving space, but also make Ultima 2000 the perfect companion for
people on the go. With a total carrying weight of less than 5.3lb, the

worrying about finding a power jack.
